Donald Glover Might Join 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' & This Is The Best Comic Book Movie News Of The Year

Back in 2012 when the search for a new actor to play Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man was ongoing, plenty of fans proposed that the role go to Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino aka Troy from Community, with the hashtag #donald4spiderman. As we all know by now, that role went to Andrew Garfield, but many fans held on hope that Glover would be given the role in the next reboot, and Glover himself told The Daily Beast in 2015 that he'd be honored to play the legendary character. Well, again, Glover wasn't cast as Spider-Man in the next reboot — but, there is some promising news! On Tuesday, The Hollywood Reporter revealed Glover is in talks to join Spider-Man: Homecoming! So, if the deal does go through and his casting is confirmed, and if he's not up for the role of Spidey, who will he be playing?

If Glover isn't going to be Peter Parker, and he is too old to play a high schooler, then I hope that he's a baddie. He would be great as a comedic villain, and I want to see him in cahoots with Michael Keaton. There are absolutely no details on this yet, and it's likely there won't be until Marvel wants people to know. But whatever role Glover is playing, he's going to knock it out of the park.
